Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Novel - Chapter 38

Kang De tied a handheld camera to the pigeon.

“Fly steadily, but don’t fly too low. Circle the island first and film as many elves as you can see. Then, focus on observing the teams closest to us.”

He instructed.

“Coo! Coo! Coo!”

The pigeon flapped its wings and took off. Although this pigeon was horny and unrestrained, it was surprisingly reliable. It would always appear in the right place at the right time and never make a mistake.

Kang De was very relieved.

He watched the pigeon leave.

Although the animals were the best scouts and were intelligent, because they could not speak, they could not describe the information completely and accurately… They could only use this method.

“…”

“…”

“…Mr. K… Kang De.”

A conflicted voice sounded beside him.

The person who spoke was a beauty, a peerless beauty.

A short skirt, knee-length boots, and an alluring black thread were faintly visible. The pure white sweater supported her proud peaks, and his wavy hair hung down.

Long eyelashes, fiery red lips, and fair skin that was as soft as cream.

His entire body emitted an ethereal aura, and his beautiful appearance revealed all kinds of charm.

At this moment, the beauty stared at Kang De with a slightly angry expression, like a little darling throwing a tantrum.

Kang De took a deep breath and took a step to the side without being obvious. Then, he looked at Tina and asked, “Miss Fran, what’s the matter?”

“…Please look at me and speak, Mr. Kang De! Also, what’s with that name?!”

Kang De still did not turn to look at him.

“The name is to let you quickly adapt to the role so as to not expose any flaws. I don’t look at you because I don’t want to see this shameful side of you! As a knight, you made such a sacrifice for the princess and everyone. Although I can’t replace you, I can’t watch you make a fool of yourself!” He said righteously.

However, he only turned around and his body was still facing Miss Fran.

To be precise, the camera of the phone on his chest was still aimed at Miss Fran.

The princess held back her laughter. She looked at Miss Fran and could not help but look shocked and envious.

After all, women were women. When they saw beautiful clothes, they would want to wear them.

It was just that… the dress was so short. She could only wear it secretly in the room. After all, even if the dress only revealed her ankle slightly, Head Maid Bedolla would definitely not allow it…

Moreover, this stocking could actually be woven so thin. A thin stocking was actually so beautiful…

Why was Kang De’s country so lecherous…

Or was this his personal hobby?

Hmph.

“Miss Fran” was stumped by Kang De’s righteous words. He was speechless for a moment and could only skip this matter and focus on the main point.

“The device you tied to the white pigeon can record images?”

There was huge unease and doubt in her tone. Miss Fran pressed down his short skirt without any guidance and questioned Kang De with a suspicious gaze.

Kang De glared at him and said, “What do you mean? How can you slander others for no reason? I, Kang De, swear to the heavens that I’ve definitely never used that device to film you. If you don’t believe me, I can hand it to you to check. You can even shatter that thing after using it. Is that fine?”

One of the common senses that the natives of the other world did not know was that a smartphone and a handheld camera were two different things.

The second common sense that the natives of the other world did not know was: Images were usually stored in memory cards rather than devices.

From this, it could be seen how terrifying the difference between technology and civilization was. The backward side did not even know that they had been photographed in female clothes.

It was really worth warning him.

Miss Fran had nothing to say.

“Compared to this, Miss Fran, when the pigeon returns, we’ll have to start moving.”

Kang De asked, “Are you ready?”

The knight’s instincts quickly returned to “Miss Fran”. In the end, he had done this to fight the elves and protect the princess. Therefore, he stood up straight and said, “Yes!”

—His figure is too good.

Kang De had chosen this outfit for him.

The turtleneck sweater could cover his Adam’s apple, and the windbreaker jacket could hide the problem of body size to the greatest extent. The boots were used to cover the muscles in the legs, and the short skirt and the faintly discernible attractive black silk were responsible for attracting the enemy’s attention so that they would not discover any other abnormalities.

It could be said to be very scheming.

He focused and asked, “Is it convenient to move in high-heeled boots?”

The knight tried to take a few steps and felt that it was cold below. This made him feel a little uncomfortable. The others were fine. He tried to convince himself to evaluate this outfit from a purer combat angle, then said, “There shouldn’t be any problem with ordinary movement, but the high heel part of the boot is at risk of being broken if a high-intensity battle erupts.”

Kang De thought for a moment. “Leave this to me later.”

There was no problem that an enchantment could not resolve.

If there was, he would enchant it again.

He asked again, “Do you still remember our previous discussion? The core of the operation is a surprise attack. We have to take down a group of elves as soon as possible. Your mission is the most important, but you have to take a certain risk. This is because the most important point in the plan is how many enemies you can deal with at the first moment.”

The knight nodded. “Understood.”

Kang De instructed, “You have to take care of yourself. The defense of these clothes is worrying. Do you understand what I mean? You especially have to be careful of the elves’ arrows. You can’t be injured, or you’ll definitely regret it.”

How should he put it… Kang De was actually a person with a conscience.

Although he had used a trick to force the knight to wear female clothes and take revenge for the hatred he had formed on the first day they met, overall, his starting point was still relatively serious. This was indeed part of the plan.

Therefore, although he happily prepared women’s clothes for the knight, he also made the corresponding protective measures. The Immovable Mountain enchantment on the shield was replicated on these women’s clothes.

Although it was the inferior version, it could not be helped. The quality of these women’s clothes was limited after all, and they could not carry too high a level of enchantment.

Even so, this windbreaker, sweater, short skirt, and boots provided great defense.

However, there was also a common flaw in the product of Kang De’s current power—the durability of an enchanted item was limited. When the elemental power was used excessively, the object would crumble.

In other words, if Miss Fran endured too fierce an attack…

His clothes would burst.

Although considering the explosive body wrapped in the tempting clothes of “Miss Fran”, the flaw of this shirt seemed to be the ultimate move to turn the situation around…

Should he tell him…

Just as he was struggling with this problem, he heard the knight say, “Don’t worry, Mr. Kang De. When the battle erupts, please throw the shield to me immediately. That’s enough.”

Kang De looked at him in surprise and saw “Miss Fran” reveal a majestic smile. Coupled with his makeup and clothes, he was really mature. He said proudly, “The shield is my armor. I definitely won’t let any attack from the elves touch me. Don’t worry.”

—Alright, alright, alright. Since you’re so confident, I won’t remind you.

Kang De handed her the Crimson Blood Flame Sword. “Hide this sword well.”

The female clothes included a female belt. The knight placed it behind him and inserted it.

Kang De handed over another simple flash bomb and an enchanted Molotov cocktail. In any case, the windbreaker was loose enough.

He seriously instructed them on the usage and precautions.

The knight nodded seriously.

“Right… and this.”

Kang De hesitated for a moment, then removed the Type 92 pistol and handed the holster over.

“I’ll lend it to you… You’ve seen its power.”

He took out the pistol and demonstrated the use to the knight. He also emphasized the two safety rules of holding a gun—first, never point the muzzle at a target you don’t want to destroy. Second, always assume that there is a loaded bullet in the gun.

“You have to remember it seriously because I won’t have the chance to let you try it out. This is used at the most urgent moment because shooting will make a huge sound and it’s very easy to alarm the nearby elves… However, don’t hesitate to use it, understand?”

Knight did not take it. He looked at Kang De in surprise.

“You want to lend me this?” he said. “Even if I don’t know it, I know that this is a very precious and powerful weapon… Moreover…”

“It’s precisely because it’s powerful that there’s a need to lend it to you. I’m only lending it to you. You have to return it.”

Kang De said indifferently, “No matter what, I proposed the plan. I’m also obligated to ensure your safety to the greatest extent… That’s it.”

The knight was stunned for a moment before taking the gun. He held it in his hand and lowered his head to greet Kang De, “I treat it as precious trust and kindness and swear not to disappoint.”

He tried a few times clumsily according to Kang De’s guidance and became more and more skilled.

Then, he prepared to put it away.

Kang De reminded, “Thigh, thigh. Yes, lift your skirt and tie it outside your thigh. How is it? Is it very hidden?”

“…”

The knight gritted his teeth and turned around to bend down.

Kang De could not capture this scene and felt a little disappointed. He smacked his lips and said, “Right, when approaching those elves, remember the dress. Don’t let them see the strange thing under the dress… Of course, I’m talking about the gun. Don’t think wrongly, hahahaha…”

The Earthling was spitting trash talk.

The knight said angrily, “Mr. Kang De!”

Kang De laughed.

After “Miss Fran” put the gun away, she turned around. There was still anger between his eyebrows. Clearly, Kang De’s sarcasm displeased his.

However, when he saw Kang De’s expression, his expression softened.

“Mr. Kang De… are you nervous?”

Kang De was slightly stunned, then fell silent.

This was the first time… they were hostile, fighting, and even killing.

Although he was forced, he was still involved in the war.

He did not know what would happen in the future, but he could guess.

He was initially an ordinary Earthling who was peaceful and prosperous. He was far, far away from the war. In the blink of an eye, he crossed the plane and landed on a deserted island in the other world. In the end, he stood in front of the war.

It was natural to be nervous.

The knight seemed to have seen the uneasiness in his heart. He stood in front of Kang De and slowly said, “Please don’t worry… You’re a noble person, so you don’t have to personally participate on the battlefield. You have to know that the mission of a knight is to fight on behalf of more noble people and stain blood on behalf of people like you and the princess… Please rest assured and leave it to me.”

Kang De looked at him. He looked back.

The princess slowly walked to Kang De’s side and stood beside him.

It was as if the knight was bowing to these two people.

Suddenly, Kang De turned around and chuckled.

“Although I’m a little nervous, I’m not nervous when I see how reliable you are…”

“…Mr. Kang De, this is too much!”

In the midst of such an argument, the pigeon gurgled down from the sky.

It was about to begin.
